whatwhat say what

cats by 42 i worry about us scoring more than about 60 points a game at the moment

of the players out of contract this year, here's some names that stand out: hugh greenwood (crows) - sort of their equivalent of harmes, i guess riley knight (crows) - he most plays outside mid, has some pace daniel mcstay (bears) - very good tall defender, not sure we need another brayden sier (pies) - tough inside ballwinner, has some defensive liabilities tom phillips (pies) - jet wingman, would love him; no way they're losing him darcy parish (peptides) - a slightly better version of stretch...pass ed langdon (freo) - pace to burn, we've gone after him a couple of times nakia cockatoo (cats) - has skills but his body has let him down peter wright (gc17) - another key forward who doesn't seem to read the play that well adam tomlinson (gw$) - free agent, not sure what role he's play with us given kk and fritsh play def wingmen jacob hopper (gw$) - another inside mid, might be able to get him if he's squeezed out cos... josh kelly (gw$) - ...stays at the franchise, and so too does... steve coniglio (gw$) - ...this bloke brandon ellis (tiggas) - turnover merchant, but has pace jack billings (aints) - so we have someone else other than petracca to complain about harry cunningham (swans) - another rfa, a bit limited as a wingman, occasional rotating inside mid zak jones (swans) - all the brothers! josh dunkley (dogs) - another inside-outside mid-forward combo player, big bodied of that lot my preference in order would be a top five of coniglio, kelly, dunkley, billings, jones and then of the more likely lads langdon, tomlinson, hopper

Buddy is a freak

Swans got rogered by the maggot when Heeney goal turned into a 50 against It was as bad a call as the free against Melksham last week that gave them a goal

Geez the skills are rough

Traded our Shiel, Lobb, and $cully - there’s upwards of $2m ($800k, $800k, $400k) off the books

Blakey is gonna be a star

Adelaide’s disposal thus far is ugly

Wow! if I’m lucky I get 5mbps

coniglio - free agent who is likely to stay at gw$ josh kelly - likely to stay there too whitfield - same again i wonder who we're targeting, if anyone

re-built him in the space of three months...

you don't pay for output tho, you pay for potential tall forwards are vital commodities and commany big bikkies as a result

he should command at least $450k, and if his year is as good as we need it to be from him, he should be well within his rights to claim more than $600k he's currently going at a goal a game, but we need to see him imposing himself on the contest etc. fwiw, hogan was on around $900k this year if he's stayed with us, and charlie curnow signed a five year deal midway through last worth about $800k a year so if weed really steps up and has geelong finals-like games on the regular in 2019, then $700k is well within the realms of possibilities

trac's best game remains the 18 disposals, seven marks and three goals when he won the bog medal in a queen's birthday hasn't done anything like that well since

i'd said it before but i don't think trac will ever have a break-out game - he's very comfortable having those 15-25 disposal, 0.1-3 goal, 3-7 marks, 1-4 tackle games so that when it's at the upper echelon - say 22 disposals, 2 goals 1, 6 marks, and 3 tackles - he looks like he's going to go to the next level he's also a completely different sort of player to de goey who is more of a marking target up front than petracca ever will be

that'd be a terrible deal if he was a manager; below the average wage he's a key forward, which are pretty rare, and our whole structure is built around him and t mac i'm very confident he'll sign up

nor weed or t mac every time one of them relieved max last saturday our entire forward line structure fell down - at one stage they were kicking to spargo as a 'leading forward'

o mac can read the ball in flight better than frost and then isn't anything like as wasteful in possession as frost, but is physically out-bodied and has a turning circle of a mack truck frost is a bigger body and quicker but is just not a footballer very interesting that we've kept both when you consider cats really only have hawkins and ratugolea as a tall forward duo, then rohan as a midsize surrounded by smaller types

de goey is listed as 188cm but there's just no way - at one stage grimes was standing next to him, and he's 193cm tall, and it appeared de goey was TALLER

is de goey the best full forward in the competition?

tigers in all sorts

Sadly, news has come thru that Dunn has done his knee in the first half of the vfl practice game

75k according to mcg

given the rumours swirling, i'll now go... IN: May, KK, Lockhart OUT: Frost, C Wagner, Viney B: Jetta - May - Hore HB: Salem - O Mac - Hibberd ? Jones - Brayshaw - Fritsch HF: Petracca - T Mac - Spargo F: Melksham - Weideman - ANB Foll: Gawn - Oliver - Harmes I/c: KK - Hunt - Sparrow - Lockhart

head-scratcher! good luck to the kid, but what role will he play??
